I can't imagine enough riders to make 2 groups of single speed and fixed
gear bikes for Cherry Pie Road Race February 20. I will limit it to one group,
fixed or single speed. If you wish to race in this event please send me your
preference, fixed or single. Below are the rules that prevent both groups to
race in the same field.
"9.8.2 Bicycles shall have a freewheel mechanism EXCEPTION: A fixed gear and
single front brake may be used in time trial events or in races where all
the competitors are similarly equipped. Freewheeled and fixed gear bikes
shall not be mixed in the same mass start event."
I realize that enforcement of this has been lax in cyclocross events (many
things are lax in cross) but this should be strictly enforced for road
events. The race plan will need to be modified to accommodate 2 fields if
both types of single speed are to compete.
